First I want to say that I absolutely love the idea of this server. I found out about it a couple of days ago and have been having a blast the last few days getting adjusted to EQ again.

I played a bard from 00-06 and didn't really play anything else, since raiding took up so much of my time. So this time around I wanted to play around with a couple of different classes instead.

I chose a shaman and a monk. After reading a lot of threads I noticed that a lot of people were complaining about the lack of some shaman on the server and I've always wanted to play one, and I have always loved the monk and their attack animations.

I decided to really start playing the monk first since they are cheaper to level up, and I'm curious how much some of the starter monk gear would run me.

I've been farming up some bone chips to earn some plat, I think I have like 6 stacks now and only level 3. And a full set of cloth armor too, woot woot!

How much does the Wu's armor usually cost, I'm thinking that will be a good start and maybe I'll buy a couple of 1HB's too, maybe some screaming maces or EMB? How much do you think that would all cost so I can get an idea of how much to save up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bout 500 for a set of Wu's, just grab a set of wu's (500) two 5/55s (nother 400-500), a set of diamondine earrings (700/800 each, platinum bloodstone is also a cheaper alternative) and you really don't require weapons...the fists outpace them by 30/35

Beyond that there's RLPs, black sapphiew jewelry, granite bracers, ROTLC, but these are all pricey (or ROTLC a difficult kill or a tedious quest) and should really be handled closer to 50 for your first character.
